Use a wooden spoon to stir vigorously for 2 minutes. This helps to incorporate air into the mixture and allows it to begin to thicken. You’ll notice the mixture start to lose its gloss and become more matte as it cools.
Tip: Be cautious not to wait too long! If the mixture sets too much in the pan, it will become too firm to drop into cookie shapes.
Step 4: Drop onto Parchment Paper
Lay down some parchment paper or wax paper on a flat surface (a baking sheet works great).
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture onto the paper, forming cookie-sized clusters. Space them out a little bit, as they will spread slightly while they set.
These cookies set quickly, but make sure they stay slightly warm when you drop them to maintain the texture.
Step 5: Let Them Cool and Set
Leave the cookies on the parchment paper to cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. The chocolate mixture will firm up, creating a soft yet chewy texture that’s perfect for these no-bake cookies.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once set, the cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
You can also refrigerate them if you want them to firm up even more.
